This song was written by Alan Millen, a good friend and superb composer and lyricist. I love to do this song - such a well known tune and lyrics that bring tears to the eyes of every die hard West Coaster!
Oh give me a home where the wild orcas roam
Where the seals and the sea lions play
Where the bald eagle soars above proud rocky shores
And the gulls wheel and spin in the spray.
Chorus:
Home, home by the sea – where the seals and the sea lions play
Where the red cedar grows (2- Douglas fir 3-arbutus) grows
Where the tide ebbs and flows
And the gulls wheel and spin in the spray.
As I close my eyes I sea salmon leap high
In rivers that sparkle and gleam
And majestic peaks rise to kiss infinite skies
I drift off in a heavenly dream
Ch…
As twilight draws near, and the sun disappears
I fall on my knees and I pray
For I know I belong where the wind sings its song
How I learn to return there one day.
